Changed site and blog URL – broken the site and can’t get into the dashboard!

Hi there,

I am really hoping someone can help me with this…

I am working on a site for a friend: http://www.absolute-health.co.uk. It was using this address: http://www.absolute-health.co.uk:83/wordpress and I wanted to use the root – I know how to fix this, but due to problems with the server I tried changing the site and blog URL in the fields under the General Settings tab in the Dashboard…

This has made the site inaccessible, as it enters an endless loop. I tried to go and change it back but I can no longer log into the dashboard. I have tried some of the solutions I found on the forums, such as changing the config and functions files, but it hasn’t worked…

I can’t access phpMyAdmin because the site is hosted by another friend’s APACHE server – so I don’t know how to get into it…

Can anyone help me solve this problem via FTP? I need it to go back to the way it was, and fix the :83 problem on the server… I kind of knew that when I did it, but thought it was worth a try!

I’ve added this to the functions.php file:

update_option('siteurl','http://www.absolute-health.co.uk:83/wordpress');
update_option('home','http://www.absolute-health.co.uk:83/wordpress');

and this to the wp-config file:

define('WP_HOME','http://www.absolute-health.co.uk:83/wordpress');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.absolute-health.co.uk:83/wordpress');

I’ve also switching cookies on and off, but that hasn’t helped…

All help would be greatly appreciated as I really need to get this site back up and running!

Many thanks,
zo
